Re Enamelling Oven No.3.

The above oven in the enamelling shop has now been further modified to give better distribution of heat and tests have been carried out to find the extent of variation.

12 thermo couples were used and placed in the same manner as in test report Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.12/JH.15.4.37.

The readings tabled below show the result of the modification to be satisfactory.
